My GF uses AI

She is caring, cute, clever and really thoughtful

If you're ending it, can I get her number? /s

Y'all need to chill it with crucifying anyone and everyone who uses ai. Like any other tool it depends on how it's used. (If you can put aside the environmental factors cause a single person using it is not going to even scratch the surface of how much companies are)

As someone with ADHD, it's an amazing way to organize thoughts and to destill ideas into actual writing. And before you go on about how you can do that without ai, yes you can, but it requires someone to sit down with you and help you through the executive functioning process that I don't have. Would you be willing to spend that time and become her brain's crutch?

Before you do anything drastic, talk to her, figure out what she uses it for, how it helps her process. Don't blanket dismiss it cause it's ai.

Solo developer rebuilds Adobe Creative Suite in Rust using Claude, releases it free to all — targets 100% parity in one month despite piracy claims and safety warnings

Y'all are missing the bigger picture here. This brings up the question of ai and intellectual property and throws the ball into adobe's court to set their army of lawyers on figuiring out a no-win solution for themselves.

  • If they do nothing, a working clone normalizes copying their product's behavior and UI. Copyright covers that thinly anyway (the First Circuit in Lotus v. Borland treated a command menu hierarchy as an unprotectable method of operation). Trademarks need policing!! (And they suck)
  • If they go after it, they have to argue in court that AI output built from public material is infringing or derivative. That's the precedent the AI industry wants to avoid, and it cuts against Adobe's own Firefly pitch. Imagine what that means for "art" made with an LLM
  • If the clone's code is mostly AI-written, its copyrightability is shaky (Copyright Office, Thaler). But that cuts both ways: Adobe can't claim "you stole our code" without proving actual copied code. Which bites into OpenAI, Anthropic, Google's claims that they haven't stolen anything.

Edit: Sorry I should've used Super Intelligence, I don't want to be the enemy. /s

Infallible Code

I'm partial to a recursive solution. Lol

def is_even(number):
    if number < 0 or (number%1) > 0:
        raise ValueError("This impl requires positive integers only") 
    if number < 2:
        return number
    return is_even(number - 2)
